Dog Sitting in East Alton

“I'm beyond happy with the service I received. She made sure to communicate and check in with me everyday at the times I specified for Midnight. I normally come home and midnight looks sad and depressed when others have watched her. I came in and she was so happy, energized and very well taken care of. My house looks the same, nothing out of place or damaged. Thank you so much Gabrielle. I will definitely continue to use her and reference her to my other dog parents. Thank you!!!”

“Emily has taken care of our dog for the past few months, sometimes several nights a week while I’ve been at work. I couldn’t say better things about her and her professionalism. She is the best caregiver you could ask for when it comes to your furry friends. I HIGHLY recommend her and her services.”

About: I’ve always loved animals and have a passion for taking care of them. I have an older dog and a cat at home, so I’m used to giving pets lots of love, attention, and the extra care seniors need. I’ll treat your pets like my own and make sure they feel safe and happy while you’re away. I am currently a full time student at Lewis and Clark Community College so I have plenty of time to care for animals on the side! When I’m caring for pets on walks or in your home, I always make sure they feel comfortable and safe. On walks, I’ll go at their pace, make sure they stay hydrated, and give them plenty of time to sniff and explore. In your home, I’ll stick to their normal routine, give them lots of love and attention, and keep things clean and calm so they feel right at home even while you’re away.

About: I bring a unique blend of patience, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals that helps me quickly build trust with both pets and their people. I take the time to understand each pet’s personality and needs whether that means keeping a playful pup busy or making sure a senior dog feels safe and comfortable. Here’s a bit about my experience: • Puppy care, leash walking, and reinforcing basic commands • Senior dogs, with gentle handling, slower-paced walks, and medication routines • Special needs pets, providing calm, detail-oriented care • Administering medications (oral, topical, and injectable) • Multi-pet households, managing dynamics so everyone gets love and attention I always prioritize communication I’ll send regular updates and photos so you never have to wonder how your pet is doing. I truly treat every animal as if they were my own, creating a calm and loving environment while you’re away. I’m planning to transition out of my hourly job and become a full-time sitter while in school. Balancing classes and work can be a lot, but pet care has always been something that brings me joy and helps me decompress. I carefully plan my schedule to make sure I’m fully present and attentive with every pet I care for. Whether it’s early mornings, evenings, or weekends, I’m committed to providing consistent, loving, and reliable care that fits both your pet’s needs and my routine. I focus on creating a calm, safe, and engaging environment that matches each pet’s routine and comfort level. In my home, I keep things clean, pet-proofed, and stocked with toys, cozy spaces, and outdoor access for breaks and playtime. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and follow all instructions closely feeding schedules, walks, medications, and any specific habits or routines. I make sure pets feel secure and loved, whether they’re in familiar surroundings or visiting mine.

About: I have taken care of my two animals my whole life. I also have watched many friends and family pets my whole life. I absolutely love all animals and have even had ducks, turtles, bunnies, squirrels, and more. I’m a sophomore in college at SIUE and I have a very free schedule. My class schedule ranges from 1-3 classes a day which allows me to let the dog out in between these classes and with the dog the majority of the day. The only time I’m out other than class is for a short workout or playing pickleball with friends. I can easily walk or let dogs outside anytime throughout the day before and after class. I love cuddling and playing with the animals anytime they want to.

“Rebecca does a great job ensuring our pets are loved and that everything required to take care of them is checked off. I appreciate her flexibility and willingness to just do whatever is needed for them. She seems to have fun and sends great photos and videos of our bunch. I can relax while away knowing she’s on top of their needs, special care, and meds because this would normally make me worry! We are grateful to have found her!”

“Ali did an awesome job with our 4 fur babies, I think they love her more than us now. She was very attentive to their medications making sure they took the right amount, on time, and even had to add a day worth of medication because of issues our trip incurred. She was very diligent about making sure they had plenty of playtime (fetch) weather permitting. I'm thinking she might want to take up dog photography because she got quite of few fabulous pictures that we can never seem to get. The only reason I wouldn't recommend her is because I want her just for my fur babies, in all seriousness I HIGHLY RECOMMEND HER for taking care of fur babies (dogs) especially if they have to take oral medication.”
